The Christmas market Striezelmarkt in the center of Dresden is not only one of the most beautiful but also the oldest, it has existed since 1434.

The open-air Christmas markets of central and northern Europe alone are a reason to travel this season and until the end of the holidays.

Traditionally, the… home of Christmas markets is Germany and yesterday it opened its festive gates to welcome visitors to one of the largest and oldest Christmas markets in the country – and Europe in general.

The Striezelmarkt Christmas market in the center of Dresden is not only one of the most beautiful but also the oldest, it has existed since 1434.

Wooden open-air houses selling ornaments, traditional sweets and of course Glühwein (the aromatic, sweet red mulled wine), ice rinks, carousels, lights and tall Christmas trees create the ultimate Christmas experience, which fascinates young and old.
